I recently caught up with Tom Flynn, a former Development Director, as well as host of his own radio show, Saltwater Farm. while he lived here in Portland in the early 2000's. Several years later,Tom with his wife, decided to leave Portland and relocated to Minneapolis for a position at a K-12 public school. Tom gives us a very personal first hand view of what it was like there, just days after the tragic death of George Floyd, and the devastating fires and riots, incited primarily by an out of state fringe group.
